Featuring thirty-nine in-depth interviews with Maoist female\u003cbr\u003eex-combatants, their leaders, and experts in Nepal between 2017 and 2018, this book is complemented by extensive\u003cbr\u003earchival research, wide-ranging primary and secondary sources such as key Maoist statements and policy documents from the war era, memoirs of women ex-combatants, media sources, and academic literature.\u003cbr\u003eGiri ultimately finds that female combatants' experiences of \"pre-war, \"war,\" and \"post-war,\" both in public and private spheres, are conditioned by their interlocking systems of oppression and identities such as class, caste, ethnicity, social status, educational status, and geographical location. He makes an\u003cbr\u003eimportant contribution to the feminist IR literature, feminist security studies, and makes significant policy implications, particularly concerning reintegration of female combatants, peacebuilding, and the Women Peace and Security agenda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeshab Giri \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Lecturer in International Relations at The University of St Andrews.
